Transfer Talk: Chelsea offered Neymar in deadline day stunner

Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar on deadline day.

Boss Thomas Tuchel is keen to bolster his options up front after seeing the Blues score just six times so far in a poor start to the Premier League campaign.

And The Mail claim they have been approached about the prospect of landing Neymar in what would be a huge coup in the dying hours of the window.

PSG are keen to trim their wage bill after tying Kylian Mbappe down on a mega-money deal to fend off interest from Real Madrid.

And Neymar, 30, appears to be the odd one out despite a flying start to the season.

The Brazilian has a scarcely believable 13 goal contributions in just five league outings this term — putting even red-hot Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to shame.

Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has not been afraid to splash the cash at Stamford Bridge this summer, with Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina all arriving so far.

And the Blues are also hot on the heels of Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a swap deal involving Marcos Alonso, report The Mail.

Meanwhile, The Times claim AC Milan ace Rafael Leao, 23, and Dinamo Moscow playmaker Arsen Zakharyan, 19, are targets for the Stamford Bridge outfit.
